Getting there is most of the journey

Ok so I'm roughly 2 months post op and down 35lbs and I feel great. Putting Protein first and everything else last. Exercising any way I can even if I can't make it to the gym I'm doing my part. I feel proud I cannot believe that I am doing as well as I am and turning down the bad habits like I am. The old me is gone and the new one is here to stay. Next thing to work on is my confidence...

You're doing great! When you see the smaller person in the mirror, believe it! Set many small milestones, and hit them. Identify with the new you and leave the old you behind. If you can do that, you'll enjoy this wonderful journey!!!

I know it may sound weird but all my clothes don't fit right anymore and I stand in the closet just staring and my jeans just fall right off. I feel like I'm going through up & downs, like I used to when my size 24 jeans didn't fit. Maybe I am so used to being over weight that I need a confidence booster.

I was feeling really frumpy, I work from home and rarely wear makeup. after my surgery my face looked slimmer so I went and got a haircut. man, what a difference. I have been putting on a little makeup and wearing a size smaller jeans..the haircut really made me feel better.

I just might try it, sounds like a good start to accepting the new you....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
